| geographic distribution of chloroplast variation in italian populations of beech (fagus sylvatica l.). | the distribution of chloroplast dna (cpdna) variation in italian beech ( fagus sylvatica l.) populations was studied using pcr-rflp and microsatellite markers. in total, 67 populations were analysed, and 14 haplotypes were identified by combining the two marker types. a remarkable subdivision of cpdna diversity in italian beech was found, as indicated by a high level of genetic differentiation ( g(st)=0.855). the highest level of total haplotype diversity ( h(t)=0.822) was estimated for southern ... | 2004 | 15014873 |
